| 1017.1 | Lithium Ain't Just an Imbalance... | BOSHOG::VARLEY | | Wed Mar 08 1989 10:49 | 13 |
| Bucko's in Fall River uses a blue lithium type synthetic grease
which thins in cold weather and thickens in warm. This is probably
the best stuff, and I don't know if they sell it. I know my Shimano
apparently has this grease, because cold doesn't bother it, while
my Quantum gets stiff in the cold.
I'm told that Lithium type ski binding grease will do the job real
well, and any ski shop should be able to get you some. Unless you're
a tournament caster and need to use super thin stuff even when it's
warm, I think that the multi purpose lithium I described is what
you're lookin' for. Now if I can only find some of the old style,
wintergreen "Skoal Bandits"...

| I neglected to mention that reels also have oil ports, in which
you can use any reel oil or sewing machine oil, and don't forget
to oil the level wind track on your baitcasters, and to grease the
handle shaft on your spinning reels.

| I use PENN's Blue Grease...no problems in hot or cold.
On spin reels don't forget to lay a bead of grease along
the edge of the side plate before you close it up -
this acts as seal to keep the yuckies out.
For oil, the old standby 3-in-1 works fine.

| Another vote for PENN Blue grease. Also PENN lube for bearings.

| Re: -1
Bruce...how successful are you at getting the Penn Lube (in a tube)
into those silly little ports with the ball-checks??????
Even using the 'trick' of using a pin to hold the port open, I still
can't get Penn's lube into the opening.

| Rich,
I use the penn lube when I break the reel down and oil the bearings
from the inside (is this cheating?). I agree those little ports
are useless.

| I haven't had a problem with the oil ports. Push the tube into the bearing and
sqeeze. If you do it with sufficient pressure, the grease will go into the
hole. I agree that you can do a better job by taking the thing apart.
